wip pl_explosive barrel factory

Where is the common love? I agree, I think the concepts look nice. As far as being realistic, the original payload bomb doesn't really look properly rigged to blow and has a cop light on top of it so I wouldn't be too concerned.

Funny thing. I just started work on a control point - harbor/port industiral themed map where blu defends. You're way ahead of me though...

New bombcart for red

Probably the final design.

Wow! Now you are talking! I am loving the custom models coming for this group!

award for slowest mapper goes to me :blush:

I 've read that valve uses more bounces for vrad, expert compile yawol? What number of bounces is default and what number should I use for a tf2 map?

 

[YM]

10 is default I'm not sure what the max is but I recon 15 is highest you want to go without a supercomputer at your disposal.


Looking good btw :thumbup1:

Wrong! I restarted pl ambush and I've worked on it for about 4 days now and I'm still making the spawn room.

Just wondering, that flatbed truck model, will you be doing it/have someone do it, or is it already out there. I'm working on a map where the first point is a dock/harbor (it quickly moves underground), and that truck would add some nice detail.

 

[marnamai]

The truck will be made by my modeller, atm its not even started. Prioritizing, gotta finnish the bombcart first.

I take that back, I compiled hoodoo last night and ran 20 bounces and rad only took an hour each time, I recon I could get away with 40 or so...

cancelled, lost my interest in playing tf2 ...

Looks like your breaking optimization's golden rule, too, is your map in a giant box?

Someone help me out on this cause I'm a super duper noob mapper;

What's wrong with a giant box?
I'm not trying to be like "There's nothing wrong with being in a huge box."
Just trying to ask what is wrong, so I know why not to do it.
Details, please. :]

Thanks!

And don't give up! :[

The problem with a giant box is that your video card ends up having to draw everything in the box at once, which makes for really low FPS. Optimising a map to improve the speed of a map is something you've really got to plan from the start, when designing the layout. But medium-sized rooms* connected by corridors with right-angle turns is usually great for optimisation; large open spaces not so much.

*These rooms can have skybox walls and ceilings of course, they don't have look like interiors.
